Cantilever beam sensor / SM18X cantilever beam sensor
Product Categories Cantilever beam sensor
The SM18X series load cells feature a pure shear-type structure. Utilizing proprietary American technology and processes, these cells are made from high-quality materials and precision-machined to ensure measurement accuracy and dynamic performance in every unit. The product boasts a low profile, strong overload capacity, and uniform stress distribution, exhibiting excellent resistance to lateral forces and minimal impact from changes in load position. It is a crucial component in the manufacture of various flat-plate weighing instruments (such as floor scales, truck scales, and rail scales). Currently, it is widely used in dynamic electronic rail scales, shallow or pitless electronic truck scales, hopper scales, crane scales, and electronic floor scales, among other force-measuring and weighing systems.
